Adjusting the Volume Balance

Here's how to adjust the volume balance of each input and the
overall volume.
Move the [MAIN] knob to a position
near the indicator (0 dB).
While monitoring the audio via speakers or headphones,
adjust the volume balance for the respective inputs.
Raise the volume level of audio you want to make more
prominent, for example, an emcee microphone, and lower the
volume level for other audio. When no audio is input, and for
audio that is unused, lower the volume level to minimum (-INF dB).

Use the [MIC 1], [MIC 2], and [LINE] faders to adjust the volume.
7 VIDEO INPUT 1–3, USB, and music files (p. 23)
Use the [LEVEL SETUP] button 0 LEVEL SETUP (LEVEL) (1/5)
to select the input audio.
Use the [VALUE] knob to adjust the volume, and press to
confirm.
Press the [LEVEL SETUP] button to close the menu.
Use the [MAIN] knob to adjust the volume of the main
output.
The level meter will light yellow at the appropriate volume.

5 Adjusting the volume of the USB output
The volume of the USB output (the volume being streamed)
can be adjusted separately. Use the [USB STREAM] knob to
make fine adjustments to the volume of the main output. If
the AUX bus is assigned to the USB STREAM port (p. 24), this
adjusts the volume of the AUX bus.
5 You can output a test tone that's convenient for adjusting the
volume.
Use the [MENU] button 0 "SYSTEM" 0 "TEST TONE" to select
the type of test tone that will be output.
